Insufficient sleep quality and quantity directly affect individuals; in turn, they indirectly affect the productivity, viability and safety of workplaces. Sleep issues also represent a global health concern for people and workplaces around the world. In addition to pharmaceutical aids, effective and accessible interventions need to address the underlying problems, as might be achieved by behavioural therapies or structured, cognitive interventions like mindfulness-based programs. The time intensity and relatively high costs of such tactics has limited their widespread adoption though. With a sample of 606 full-time working adults, the current study tests the potential effectiveness of a short, inexpensive, app-based, self-help mindfulness meditation programme for promoting sleep quality and quantity. Using a longitudinal randomised experimental design, the authors compared the utility of a 10-day mindfulness programme with a passive control group, as well as with an active control group that engaged in 10 days of mind-wandering exercises. Sleep benefits emerged immediately after the 10-day intervention but seemingly wore off about three months later. Acknowledging the interactions between sleep, depression and anxiety, we also measured the two latter variables. We also find that the intervention was effective on depression, but not on anxiety. These insights offer implications for both research and practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":51175,"journal":{"name":"Stress and Health","volume":"41 1","pages":"e70017"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143411523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This empirical research explores the intricate relationship between various social mobility trajectories and perceived stress within the dynamic context of contemporary China. Drawing upon data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey spanning from 1991 to 2015, this study advances beyond conventional methodologies that typically categorise social mobility as either upward or downward. It employs the Growth Mixture Model to discern six latent mobility trajectories: 'Fall into Poverty', 'Rise from Rags', 'Middle Class', 'Fall from Grace', 'Upper Middle Class' and 'Elite.' The resulting findings then reveal the diverse impacts of these distinct mobility trajectories on perceived stress, emphasising gender-specific patterns. Among men, those categorised as 'Elite' and 'Fall from Grace' report lower perceived stress levels in comparison to the middle-class reference group, while individuals in the 'Fall into Poverty' category exhibit the highest stress levels. Conversely, for women, the 'Upper Middle Class' and 'Elite' categories are associated with lower stress levels, with 'Upper Middle Class' women experiencing the least stress. The findings unveiled in this study shed light on the multifaceted nature of social mobility and its consequences for stress within a rapidly changing society. These insights hold significant implications for public health interventions, underscoring the necessity of a more nuanced theoretical framework for understanding the stress experiences of Chinese residents amidst societal transformation.</p>","PeriodicalId":51175,"journal":{"name":"Stress and Health","volume":"41 1","pages":"e70010"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11791741/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143124100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This instrument aims to measure three dimensions of the work-[pet]family boundaries: work-[pet]-family conflict and enrichment. The research methodology comprised five systematic scale development processes. First, a literature review and 22 interviews were conducted to generate conceptual understanding and content about both work-[pet]family conflict and enrichment. Then the initial items were developed and verified through a Delphi survey and a pilot study (N = 113) that led to the final pool of 10 items. Four additional studies were conducted to test the scale's factor structure, reliability and validity. Overall, the confirmatory factor analyses and reliability tests demonstrated that the 10-item scale performed well regarding its 3-factor structure and was a reliable measure to evaluate work-[pet]-family boundaries. Moreover, the results also showed that the scale was significantly related to measures of work-family conflict and enrichment, mental health, well-being, and work engagement at the within-person level. Lastly, the 2-week test-retest reliability results showed a good reliability of the scale. This study develops and validates a measure that is essential for studies focused on work-[pet]family boundaries. As work and family structures continue to evolve, understanding work-[pet]family dynamics is essential for addressing emerging challenges in work-life balance, employee well-being, and the development of inclusive organisational policies.</p>","PeriodicalId":51175,"journal":{"name":"Stress and Health","volume":"41 1","pages":"e70020"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143416254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Healthcare workers, who dedicate their lives to caring for others, are increasingly facing violence within their workplaces as evidenced by existing studies. However, literature overlooks complex associations between workplace violence, workplace stress, and domestic violence and stress. This article explores the phenomenon of workplace violence among healthcare workers through the lens of Spillover Theory and investigates impact of workplace violence on domestic stress with single and sequential mediation of workplace stress and domestic violence. Our findings of MEDTHREE analysis of time-lagged data indicate that individuals who experience workplace violence are more likely to exhibit stress, which ultimately becomes a cause of domestic violence. The study highlights how spillover theory can help to explain how workplace violence can trigger violence and stress in the home environment. The research highlights the need for a support system and targeted interventions to address the issue of workplace violence to mitigate its spillover effects into domestic violence. With the help of the findings, the organisational decision makers can develop comprehensive strategies to mitigate the harmful consequences of the workplace violence to provide safe and healthy environment at work and home settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":51175,"journal":{"name":"Stress and Health","volume":"41 1","pages":"e70008"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11774484/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with eight combat soldiers identified two main themes: (a) the military events and distress as a background story of the tattoos; (b) the tattoos' meaning as a coping resource for military service experiences. The thematic analysis revealed two coping resources which the soldiers utilised through tattooing. The first is the emotional-relief coping resource, which allows combat soldiers to express and process their emotions in response to events experienced during their military service, and helps them reduce feelings of stress. The second is the positive-productive coping resource that enhances positive feelings, serves as an empowering, promoting and strengthening resource, and expresses a transformative process of change. The findings also revealed that both of the coping resources were adaptive coping resources. This study contributes to the limited research on tattooing among combat soldiers, expands the knowledge regarding tattoos as a coping resource with military service, and identifies two types of coping resources utilised by combat soldiers.

Second, to examine the criterion validity by assessing sensitivity and specificity and determining clinical cut-offs for these versions of the SMBM, and third to examine the prevalence of burnout in a general population and primary care sample using the proposed cut-offs.

There is increasing evidence that self-compassion might function as a buffer against the negative mental health effects of experiencing work-stressors. However, while this moderating role of self-compassion has been demonstrated when measures of subjective stress are used, different studies that use measures of more objective potential stressors failed to demonstrate a moderating role of self-compassion. Furthermore, while cross-sectional studies offer increasing support for this moderation effect of self-compassion, few studies have examined this in longitudinal designs which may provide more robust insight into the role of self-compassion on the relation between work stress experiences and symptoms of depression and anxiety. The aims of the current study were to examine whether self-compassion moderates the concurrent and prospective association between a measure of potential work-stressors and depressive and anxious symptomatology. The method consisted of a longitudinal survey study in a sample of 246 military personnel with three measurements, half a year apart from each other. Latent moderated structural equation modelling was conducted to test the potential moderating effect of self-compassion. Self-compassion was shown to significantly moderate the association between work-stressors and depressive and anxiety symptomatology, both cross-sectionally and prospectively after 6 and 12 months. Specifically, the experience of work-stressors was positively associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety when self-compassion was low and this association became weaker when self-compassion was at a medium or high level.
